True. But the system does WORK now, and id rather not make it NOT WORK in the process of making it easier to upgrade ports. > Also, when i try to delete one of the ports that seemed less > critical, even that didnt work: > ~ $ sudo pkg_delete -f jade-1.2.1_9 > pkg_delete: package 'jade-1.2.1_9' is required by these other packages > and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway): > sgmlformat-1.7_2 > pkg_delete: read_plist: bad command '@conflicts sp-1.*' > ~ > > ...and jade-1.2.1_9 is still there. > > Thank you again for your continued attention, Kris. > Kris: What happens if you try to reinstall it from the port, setting FORCE_PKG_REGISTER? Oh yes! This does work. After this worked i went and reinstalled all the ports listed, and now pkg_info (and pkg_delete, etc.) is working correctly. Thanks! Something working at last. So now i can find out what version each port is, but that doesnt help me know whether these are outdated, or to update them. For that im still stuck on the Ruby core dump problem. I did reinstall portupgrade, ruby18, and the ruby-bdb thing, but sadly i still get the same abort trap/core dump thing ive reported all along. Is there any other way i can attack this last issue?
